we still need to find. the country. as a kind of clearing house for the ideas of tomorrow and one of those is photonics whose roots were laid in russia but has since sprouted into an international player the firm has developed a new kind of laser scalpel for dental surgery you could find uses just about anywhere the doctors currently employ a blade. since. they

did a very good reason. on the first a total of ten russian companies were singled out at the tech success. and organizers designed the competition to acknowledge the country's fastest developing and most innovative small and medium sized businesses as well as boost their profile on the world stage coming into the ceremony the list had already been whittled down to thirty companies which represented the entire spectrum of industries and regions across russia. so creative company hardware maker

than just a simple camera. two thousand. the me too thousands. proved to the point. as far as we know everyone switched to digital devices. there is a wide range of devices he. presents. unmatched anywhere in the world. digitization needs the pushkin museum has turned to a. company specializing in super high resolution images they claim their system is the best way to get
3:34 am
a top notch completely objective representation of priceless pieces of art. don't have to take the paintings down from the walls they do need to set up and calibrate the light just right doing so ensures the resulting image is an entirely accurate reproduction of the painting as it is in real life but today the resolution of even the best. museums purposes simply isn't enough. to develop an entire set of technologies that allows their technicians to boost picture resolution without warping the image or losing any data through stitching software. this requires a bit more ingenuity than you might think. instead of just snapping the whole painting at those takes individual pictures of each section. distorting the original demands what's called the shift. at the root is a camera with the usual c.c.d. sensor which is what converts to incoming photons into

accurate reproductions are the first word when it comes to archiving masterpieces and even for the creation of high quality catalogs. or two dimensional scanning methods do the job for paintings and pictures like these they only give us one side of the story when we talk about three d. objects that means all kinds of additional information is hiding just out of sight in places like the fair a part of monastery technology ensures that no detail is left behind the aging interiors of this beautiful example of medieval russian art has been filmed and put on display for all to see and treasure. here still use the same shift lin set up but has to take additional steps to ensure light is properly evenly cast on the segment that they're filming the images they get are indispensable for stores as they study and understand what exactly needs to be done to keep things like the dionysus fresco around for future generations to enjoy. and the technology employed

here has benefits if you never make it out to the fair part of monastery yourself thanks to episodes pictures you can explore the walls of survive centuries and you can rest assured knowing that you're seeing the frescoes exactly as they are in real life the color palette is a difficult the lighting presents the image as it was intended. crucially the proper perspective of the arcs and curves are kept intact as a result of the shift lens. therefore you could almost feel the glare of heavenly inspiration jumping out through your screen. but there's another kind of scanning out there that involves a near constant monitoring of the skies this is the moscow ground station of a company called scan x. which is recognized as one of the top thirty innovative companies tech success and we mentioned earlier it all started with rather simple computerized weather stations worked out by moscow state university researchers in one thousand nine hundred one the company developed these helix shaped weather data reception
3:38 am
stations which proved useful for schools and state agencies alike but their big breakthrough came in the mid ninety's when they decide to revolutionize the field of data reception. was. designed and built a so-called personal data reception station but it was unlike others in that it was much smaller for example as there is so three satellite reception stations measured twelve meters in diameter one like this one which is about three meters and needed vault one hundred people to maintain it what they want to have achieved is that even a person who is not very good with computers. parade the system in the course of two days it can also be installed on any street small size and weight. as satellites cas overhead images from space are being down to scale x. is receivers for this company the main idea is to be able to get the pics in real time and they had to set up a network big enough to spend the entire country. in russia itself to scan the city
3:39 am
with the skies full for its own centers as for the kid for universities as well as state weather emergency resource modern agencies in total scale x. has played over two hundred fifty stations across the globe. really doesn't operate its own satellite. what it does do is allow for the images to reach those who need them faster and more conveniently than otherwise possible but they're more than just space imaging middle men there are technicians have to rework the pics to highlight just what they're looking for. their images which can be a statically stunning in their own right can serve a myriad of purposes many of the space snippets are for government watchdogs but they can also be used by concerned citizens in groups to spot illegal deforestation or even track poachers over their most recognizable alternative applications is likely internet mapping services which they provide for russia's dominant online

matchmaker yandex scanning says presence on the market has been driving the industry forward with their strategy having been dictated by financial constraints early on their no helping push a slimmer more effective approach to space imaging. basically dimona polis the market access to data. data went to one big national center then it was either so little distributed freely or depending on whatever the government policy was and by the way in many countries it still works that way we have given you this want let's say particularly well off that you need to to get this data on their personal computers is a fundamental change whether good or bad people are going to use it to their benefit depends on us. and how we teach people to use it but it's for the best way we can't ignore the problems that the old faces and in war more. that mantra lies at the heart scan axis cause are you web sites where anyone can monitor potential environmental problems they've created
3:41 am
a similar site especially for government agencies to keep an eye on emergency situations for space there's nowhere for forest fires to hide and scan x. can also help both the authorities and anyone really capture things like oil spills which may not necessarily be obvious to the untrained eye on first glance. then of course some of their shots can be used to simply check up on how construction is progressing in preparation for the olympic games in sochi with two years left until the opening ceremony you can witness the lansky being changed right before your eyes. over the years scan it has accumulated a sizeable archive of all their uploaded data all told they've got more than two hundred terabytes of space images on record all of which they hope will make the world a more transparent place. for turning our attention back to open innovations for a given that it was spread out over some twenty thousand square meters of exhibition space and there were more than one thousand innovative works on display
3:42 am
we probably could have done several shows just on the companies and technology present over the coming months don't be too surprised to see more about some of those innovators mentioned at the top. despite what event organizers would have liked not all big announcements were a meeting from moscow there were quite a few other important bits of news items in the world of take recently as well i will have more on them right after the break. is to be.
